📊 Taking a shot in the dark… and hitting the mark! 🎯 What happens when you create a digital space for volunteers and organisations to connect? You aim for impact — but seeing it in the numbers shows the true value of collaboration. Sally, Deputy CEO at Cambridge Council for Voluntary Service shares best practices from Volunteer Cambs.

Now, having a dedicated space for opportunities supports both volunteers and smaller organisations. 💻 For groups without their own website or with limited digital skills, their community platform bridges the gap. From crafting role descriptions to showcasing opportunities, it's easier for them to thrive. One thing is clear: giving volunteers and organisations the right tools can spark incredible momentum! 💬 What digital tools have made the biggest difference for your volunteer initiatives?
